Lammas finally get planning for their ecovillage in West Wales.Pembrokeshire's new planning policy on Low-Impact Development is a groundbreaking policy which sets out a new approach to sustainable development in the countryside. Lammas attained planning permission to build an ecovillage in Wales which combines the traditional smallholding model with the latest innovations in environmental design, green technology and permaculture.The proposal is for a new settlement of 9 eco-smallholdings, a campsite and a community hub building. It is sited on 76 acres of mixed pasture and woodland next to the village of Glandwr, Pembrokeshire
